Data-Nuking Poor Families Is Not the Answer To Child Abuse - The Chronicle of Social Change:
Much as the National Rifle Association argues that “Guns don’t kill people, people do,” Joshua New defends the use of predictive analytics in child welfare by telling us, in effect, that computers don’t remove children, caseworkers do.

Woman Undergoes First Uterus Transplant In US; When Parenting A Biological Child Is The Only Option
Woman Undergoes First Uterus Transplant In US; When Parenting A Biological Child Is The Only Option:
Cleveland Clinic performed the nation’s first uterus transplant Feb. 24 during a nine-hour surgery on a 26-year-old woman with uterine factor infertility (UFI). The patient is reported to be in stable condition following the experimental procedure, which made use of a womb from a deceased organ donor. Around 5 percent of women worldwide have UFI, an irreversible condition most often caused by birth defects or medical treatments requiring removal of the womb.

DCYF cites high caseloads, looks at adding 24/7 staffing
DCYF cites high caseloads, looks at adding 24/7 staffing | Concord Monitor:
Heavy workloads and high staff turnover at the state’s Division for Children, Youth and Families are impacting the agency’s ability to keep children safe, according to a recent report from the division.
My Comment: What sense does it make to hire more DCYF worker's when the children were placed back in the home while Criminal charges were pending against the Mother? More caseworkers couldn't have stopped this death. DCYF and the Judge dropped the ball on this one. If the kids weren't returned to a Mother criminally charged with their abuse, this precious little girl wouldn't be dead now.
The only way to stop this from happening again, is reform of DCYF and the Family Court's. My one question; What sense does it make to return children to a home where their Mother has Criminal abuse charges pending, but never return children to a home where Criminal charges against the parent are dropped due to evidence of innocence? Sounds backward doesn't it? That's because it is!
